Just saw this on ESPN about a broadway show based on Bird and Magic.  Interesting...

How about theater interpretations of comic books?

yeh, that too

I can get on board with making a show out of a musician's life, but really, shouldn't there be an original story involved somehow?

I'm no theater buff though.

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
Why bother?  Even if they turn Broadway around, everyone will just give Jordan's show all the credit.

Is this about Sesame street?

Seriously, I loved watched them play but who wants to see a musical about them?  Are we that out of ideas?
